Every Cub Scoutpack is under the supervision of a Pack Committee. This committee consists of a minimum of three registered adult members, one of whom will be the Pack Committee Chairperson. The Pack Committee Chairperson organizes and chairs the Pack Committee.

Cooperate with other Scouting units.

Qualifications

Is at least 21 years old, subscribes to the Declaration of Religious Principle, and agrees to abide by the Scout Oath or Promise and the Scout Law. Possesses the moral, educational, and emotional qualities that the Boy Scouts of America deems necessary to afford positive leadership to youth. Is selected by the chartered organization, and is registered as an adult leader of the BSA. One of these members is designated as pack committee chair.

Obviously, with a committee of three, members must assume responsibility for more areas of service than with a committee of seven or more, where the responsibilities can be divided among the members. Although packs can and do operate with a minimum of three committee members, experience has shown that a larger committee generally ensures a stronger, more stable pack and is better able to perform all the required functions to ensure a successful pack program. It is also a way of involving more pack families in meaningful service to the pack.

Committee Membership

A strong pack committee will have individual members assigned to such areas as record keeping and correspondence, finances, advancement, training (Pack Trainer), public relations, and membership and reregistration. The pack committee chair decides how the responsibilities should be divided and gives committee members assignments.
